Altagracia Guzman (abuela) is basically playing the same role that got her notoriety in Raising Victor Vargas, which is by all means a superior film.

Zulay I first saw in Feel The Noise, which is a way worse flick than Fighting would ever be.

So, that puts Fighting in the 5/10 category; I think this is honestly the best Tatum has done to date, and I hope this keeps the fight-based movies coming to the big screen.

I have heard that HARD TIMES with Bronson was inspiration for this movie, so I'm about to check that out this week. All in all, it's not a good movie, but inspired me to watch better, so it's in the right place at the right time... We've got Wolverine and Star Trek coming up, so Fighting will soon be a distant memory.

Avoid avoid avoid. If its the same movie I have in mind, the one with Aweseome-Incarnate Ron Perlman and Thom Jane (It is) then it sucks.

Its almost like they dragged Perlman in there to make it a bit better. He did, but one can only do so much.

oh and thanks muchly for the review :) appreciated and looking forward to it.

Nice review, though.

Hard Times is a classic primer on how a dude should abide: You talk low, you talk slow, and you don't bother nothin' that don't bother you first.
